Ledfoot, Was it the friction mount found here that you have?

That's what I have been considering getting. How does it look on the dash and is it easily stored in the glove box? I read some of the reviews on Amazon saying it leaves a sticky mark on the dash - have you experienced that?
Thanks!

I have not noticed a "sticky spot" really, but I wouldn't be surprise if it did occur. It's amazing how sturdy these friction mounts can be. That full-rubbery one looks interesting, but I wonder if it loses it's felxibility if you leave it in the same spot for a long time....hmmm....

Review and pics
I got my GPS and the vent and cup holder mounts. The vent mount is OK. Pretty stable. A little finicky to attach and remove. The ball is not a perfect fit for the Garmin but it works. I give it 3.5 out 5 stars. I have that on my Accord for now.
Here are a few pics of the cup holder mount on the Fit. Works well and is easy to attach. Ball is perfect size an there are several different way to swivel and angle GPS. When removed, stows very nicely in lower glove box of Fit. I give it 4+ stars. I deduct something because I think they could have come up with a slicker way to expand the base to snug up against the cup holder.
